Bond No. 9 West Side

Welcome! I've decided after, some hemming and hawing, to move the Fragrant Friday section of MinxKnits to a new home. I'm going to try to post here more than once a week...wish me luck!

For my first post, I'd like to review a rose-based fragrance (and I have amassed quite a collection of them, due in no small part to my Fragrance Fairy Godmother, Raphaella) that has stood out from the (quite sizeable) pack, and is a combination of some of my favorite fragrance notes.

Bond No. 9 pays homage to the great city of New York by marking every neighborhood with a scent of its own. Named after it's Manhattan address, Bond No. 9 is the brain child of Laurice Rahmé, a long-time resident and lover of the City.

My initial impression of West Side started with a boozy, almost liquorish, rose. Almost instantly, the rose takes a step backward to allow a sheer peony to come forward. And then finally, the entirety of the fragrance is bathed in a warm vanilla amber. Sweet, but not cloying, West Side is a delicious addition to the Bond No. 9 collection.

Entrants who have won a prize from any Minx blogs will be ineligible to win again for a period of sixty (60) days.

Only Entrants who provide valid e-mail addresses will be considered in prize drawings.

Unless otherwise specified, Entrants must be 18 or older and located in the US or Canada only.

The odds of winning are dependent on how many entries are received.

Something I never thought was possible but needs to be mentioned: Entrants are not allowed to win two of the same prize from either Opalescent or a different source. If it is found that the individual chosen as the recipient of a prize has already won the same prize elsewhere, a new winner will be selected. Share the wealth, people!
